The Pittsburgh Pirates released five minor league players over the last two days, including Jeremy Beasley, who was just designated for assignment to open up a spot on the 40-man roster. The other players were all in the Dominican Summer League this year, and they include pitchers Reyson Santos and Juan Fuentes, as well as infielders Delfin Ramirez and Pedro Figuereo.
Beasley was released last night according to the Pirates transaction page. He was acquired by the Pirates for cash on August 2nd, but didn’t pitch until late September, and only got into one game with Indianapolis in which all three batters he faced reached base and scored.
